There's a close-up of Kurt Cobain's very ordinary looking driver's license poking from a black chain-strap wallet - the kind every grunge kid carried in the early '90s.

There are shots of the tarp that Seattle police hung in front of French doors to keep away fans and the press.

But most chillingly, there are images of the suicide note exactly as Cobain left it: on top of a planter, a red pen plunged through the center and into the soil.

The Seattle Police Department has released dozens more photos from the scene, documented by officers investigating the Nirvana front man's death in April 1994.

The pictures were only recently developed. "I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at that (undeveloped film) because there were some conspiracy theories that ... (the SPD) were hiding the film," longtime homicide detective Mike Ciesynski told CBS News.
